June Reig imagines what if the diary of the young boy-king, King Tut, were found among the treasures in Howard Carter's find? This book is that fictional diary. It leads up to his death and ends with a letter from his bride to be included in his tomb.

If your child is interested in Egypt, this is a good book. There are Egyptian words, with English spelling, throughout and these are supported by a glossary in the back. Also, there are illustrations of some of the different items the young boy talks about.

Some of the words and names may slow your child down, but in all, the reading level is fairly easy. I would recommend this book.
